Wing Tail Exposed culmcn 



3 males (Gnadalcanal) . . . 232-237 (233) 110-I15 (113) 36.9-38.1 (37-2) 



4 males (Bougainville).. 236-242 (239) I12-119 (116) 41.0-41.8 (41-2) 



Birds from Bougainville appear larger than those from Guadalcanal, 

 especially in length of exposed culmen. This seems to be a slight 

 tendency toward Lariits roratus goodsoni Hartert of the Admiralty 

 Islands, which has a larger bill. 



Seven of the birds taken in October, November, and December 

 were molting body feathers and wing feathers.
